Anniversary, Escrow & Other News

First let me start by saying Happy 30th Anniversary to my parents! What a milestone, huh? Being married and now having a child, I know that there are many ups and downs to a marriage, and I just want to say that it's great that they have stuck it through. I think their love for each other just continues to grow. Have a great day, Mom & Dad! (even though I know you're working!)


Today also marks the close of escrow on our new house! We've already signed the papers; we just have to wrap up our homeowners insurance paperwork this afternoon, and then figure out how to get the keys... hmmm, I kinda forgot about that part....


This weekend we spent some time at the tile & stone design room. We have a woman coming out on the 26th to go over the areas of the house that we want done and give us a better estimate. Very fun!


I'm doing pretty well with the fitness challenge. I'm exercising 5 days/week, and in 2 weeks, I'm down 6.5 lbs, so I'm happy with that so far. I'm feeling like it's hard to tone up. My chiropractor assures me that as soon as the relaxin hormone from being pregnant leaves my body completely, it will be a lot easier, but what if that's after the challenge is over?! Usually it takes 6 months, so hopefully in about another month I'll see better results happening.


Last week Anthony got a gift card to Target from my old hair stylist, which was perfect timing cause he's almost in 9month clothes, so I went to get them out and he barely has anything!!! 2 onesies and 2 rompers - that was it! (Oh, and 3 other outfits but they were for cool weather, so he won't be wearing those!) So we spent some time at Target this weekend - SO disappointing! They barely had anything! I don't know if it's time to bring in new stock or what, but even their non-sale racks I was not happy with. He got a few things, but I guess maybe I should hit the other Target and see if they have a better selection.


He did get a VERY cute outfit from Auntie Christina this weekend, though. He's already worn it twice, since he'll be out of it in no time! Here's the latest fashion show and video footage:

"I love my new outfit from Auntie Christina!"

Playing on the floor with his rattle

Looking cute in his jumperoo

(sorry the pictures are so small, they did something weird this time)

His new thing is start putting his toys IN his mouth, or chewing on them. Part of his gift card went to a chew toy set, since he only has the one you see here. He also has the rattle from the picture above, but it's pretty hard and not all that chewable.

More time in his jumperoo!

Cant really see the video very well due to slow internet but he is really cute! Thanks for the update, hope to see more soon. Way to go on working out, it doesn't matter how much you loose, as long as you are healthier it will eventually come off!

Perfect timing, we loved seeing the new pictures on our anniversary, we checked it out before we had dinner. Grandpa and
Grammie sent him a pkg. He should
be getting it soon.
Please, keep them coming.
love you, mom
